Several American media are reporting an imminent update to Apple iPads. Something that could happen as early as tomorrow, October 14th. He cites information “sources familiar with Apple’s plans,” although there is no confirmation from the company. In any case, there will be no keynote and the announcement will be made through press releases and the usual update of the official, physical and online stores.

Refurbishment of Apple iPads would be aimed at the basic line of these electronic tabletsbecause the Pro models will only be updated in 2024 (for the first time with OLED panels) and – perhaps – the premiere of the expected foldable iPad (Apple has so far resisted, aware that foldable devices represent only a small part of the total, but it’s only a question time) which still has no release date.

It should be noted that Apple continues to lead the tablet market, but this year’s revenue is expected to drop by around 15%. This is not surprising given the high levels of sales in the years of the COVID pandemic and the current economic situation. Apple wants to deal with an update that would affect Basic iPad, iPad mini and ultralight iPad Air.

The base model of the iPad was last updated a year ago, making it the latest in this base line. The tenth generation of the model brought a new thin bezel design, new colors and a side Touch ID button, so according to sources, the design and finishes will not be touched. The changes will be internal, with the SoC changing to the A16 Bionic. The same change is expected for

More interesting would be the changes on the iPad Air, from updates its SoC to the Apple M2, which would put it on par with the iPad Pro in terms of hardware engine performance. While keeping the screen size and resolution, there wouldn’t be much more new apart from installing the latest watchOS operating system.

Finally, we are missing another model that was rumored at the beginning of the year. Apple wants its share in the living room and the answer would be “low iPad” optimized for control smart home devices. It could be mounted on any surface or walls using a magnetic system and would have a camera. It would be more than a tablet Smart display, as we saw in Google’s latest device, the Pixel Tablet. We already told you if there will be a refresh of Apple iPads this week.
